My $2500 Seadoo is Finished

[@bennett6968]

Just an fyi, the training keys limit the power to 50%. So not only will you not get anywhere near your top speed, the acceleration will also be much much slower

[@Rnfjaydee]

hope he sees this

[@Rugsadventures]

Also for like $50 a dealer will just deactivated the training feature on that key and you'll get full performance my canam was the same way they fixed me right up

[@glassvial]

Multiple people commented the same in previous videos, I think he mentioned it in one of the previous videos as well. Now that he's cleaned the impeller out and it's still going slow, I'd say it's a good bet he only has the training key.

[@ededdie2853]

You can change the training key top speed I ran 55 on a similar ski with training key

[@TunTavernWarrior2]

It’s great to see you at work. We had a long famine of your videos. I’m glad you got your head back in the game. You probably needed that time to rest. I’m old enough to be your father. If I was your father, I’d be dang proud of you.

[@UH40online]

Just a little tidbit .. Seadoos have 2 Keys on the DESS system 1 learning key witch governs you to a lower top speed and a Normal Key which has no speed governing.. all you may need to do is have your current key reprogrammed to be a normal key if it is a learning key .. I can see where a RENTAL Ski might only let the renters use learning keys and that may be the type of key you have… Just throwing that out there ;)

[@chuckgolds7]

Hey, Zach! Try getting some threaded knobs with wingnuts and attach some rubber caps on the threaded end. Add a few of those to the sides of your cooler rack. You could tighten them down to snug your smaller cooler! All by hand and rubber to protect your cooler. It looks like you already have holes and everything!

[@MagicMixR]

From the looks of your speed and acceleration it's definitely the key

[@DarrylLeaning]

And you dont need a new key - you can change the key type using buds or maptunerx

[@jefferyholland]

When you find the right size cooler, it would look cool to use the same or similar wrap on it. The ski turned out looking sharp and that body work was killer.

[@jerplane400]

Its absolutely the training key! I know they're expensive but you'll love it once it's making full power!! Definitely worth the money!

[@brendenbopery8673]

Definitely one of the better builds you have done in a while…nice job!

[@watercraftjournal]

Your speed issue is entirely the Learning Key/Rental Tune. Some shops will happily reflash the ECU or program a key to unlock the 130HP engine tune.

[@bennett6968]

It’s a gti 90 so I don’t think it would be doing 130hp unless you put the Riva spark tube on it

[@checkheck8875]

Great job rounding the corners of the bracket. My pet peeve! Awesome build!

[@fishinnfixin510]

That is an awesome addition in the back. Perfect for a fisherman in the San Francisco/ Oakland Bay area. Great Job! Alonso

[@dukeplc]

Fast becoming my favorite channel. What a smart and innovative young man.

[@equestrian1792]

Wow it's beautiful after it was finished

[@hewitt52]

With all the troubles you've had with previous Sea Doos I was really happy for you that this went so smoothly. It looks great. I have to imagine the speed thing could be that you only have the starter key. It wouldn't hurt to maybe do a compression test on the engine to see if it's on the lower end. Quick and easy test. Hope you figure it out. Can't wait to see the other one you have that had a blown up motor!

[@StanLeesReviews]

Nice camo color great work on this build man.

[@htownblue11]

What progress my man! Looking great. And you’re getting the mechanical side of everything squared away. This looks like a killer deal all said and done.

[@edpollard]

Really enjoyed this build, you always have a great new creative take on your builds, keep them coming! Watching the transition from a wrecked mess to a beautiful finished custom Seadoo was very entertaining.

[@SeaDooEric]

Great work, I like seeing a SeaDoo getting a 2nd chance

[@leibelwinegard6177]

This was one of your best build projects. Binge-watch all episodes. Thanks for sharing. I only wish I knew how to use a screwdriver but until then, I'll be a fan rather than a participant. Thanks again.

[@jarrodluetkemeyer1709]

I really hope you do another poontoon soon 😊

[@adamwalters394]

Dude, love the look if the final product! Nailed it!

[@williamhammerstrom9860]

Another work of art, Zach. Bravo!

[@chrisz8693]

Nice job on the rebuild. I had a 2022 Sea Doo and banged my head against the wall trying to find a cheaper solution to the $400+ Sea Doo cooler. I still have the same mounting clips but could never figure out who to utilize them properly. I now have a plan to build the same basket!

[@andreucifuentes4486]

Incredible work

[@alexandino7498]

Zack it's the key. The learning key won't let you go past 35 mph. Get another key made as the pro key and it will do 45-50 mph

[@dougherty03]

Nice job on the cooler holder. I like how you retained the stock rubber isolated legs to keep it steady.

[@yodasbff3395]

The ski turned out looking awesome, nice job.

[@billpar]

love the finished product wasn't sure about the colors but I think its beautiful great mind you have

[@user-ls3kl9mp2s]

You are so talented! A pleasure to watch and learn. Thanks!

[@edwardhodgsoniii3325]

love seeing your builds and the issues you running into aswell as how you address them... im going through my own build of a 2006 STX-15F Kawasaki... been interesting so far but having issues addressing a warning light that keeps going off when fired up but when I bought it, it didn't even turn over so it's come a long way but can't wait to get her on the water!

[@VroomZOOM]

To lift the IBR gate, press the start button WITHOUT putting the key on the post. Then hold the IBR lever down and put the key on. Keep holding the lever, and press the set button. Then you can use the up and down arrows to move the gate up and down.

[@brodeyyoung5241]

Besides having the wrong key, if you put it in sports mode it’s a huge difference. press the menu button and hold it on sports mode

[@Bicketybam68]

For the screw/bolts that connect the cooler adapter to the bracket, what about making them thumb screw types of bolts incase you decide to make attachments for other accessories. You could add something like a pelican case or similar that is smaller and then only need a base plate rather than that entire cage.

[@TheSlider535]

Zach, i love all you do, i watch all your videos ..great job !!

[@justinmatthews9465]

So smart bro wish I was gifted like you !!! You need a engineer job your crazy smart !

[@swatson0061]

Glad yo see you back making videos.

[@jimlake1478]

Just another cool build, look forward to the next project! Great editing 👍👍

[@mrstorm9415]

Definitely worth waiting for this video now I just wanna see the Yamaha vx-c next 💯

[@TheJsgto]

In general the floats on the learning keys are green and normal keys are black/yellow. Typically after 2020 or so seadoo didn't include learning keys, you had to purchase them separately, BUT in this instance with it being (likely) a rental ski the previous owner may have had it reduced due to frequent inexperienced drivers operating the ski. Find someone with B.U.D.S or candoo pro and they'll be able to flash a new key or change the key you have. If you were closer to South MS I could fix you up.

[@stvmike]

Learning key for sure.

[@Edward-turtle]

DEFO THE KEY. ALLMOST POSITIVE

[@glennarnold3970]

Zach check the pickup for the speed if it parcially blocked other wise it might be the key cheers from down under

[@showmemoblues]

Looks wonderful, great work. I wonder being that it was a rental if they programmed the top speed reduced. It may, you have to reprogram the speed.

[@robbymoss643]

Great build! Keep us updated if you get the reduced speed issue resolved. Suspect it’s an easy fix as everyone has stated.

[@davidfinland00007]

Beautiful well done 👍

[@MrACrowe22]

Love watching the process of all the rebuilds! Keep up the amazing work your doing and can’t wait till the next project!

[@alexpapathomas6814]

id recommend putting some anodes on the hull and the jet pump. by the looks of that corrosion it will come back. its better to have sacrificial anodes to avoid that.

[@loofy26]

Awesome cant wait for the next videos. Cheers from France

[@mt4497]

Way out of my league, you're amazing

[@lvlndco]

That one turned out nice.

[@brikt8826]

It looks so good!

[@shaunbarta7990]

Good work Zach

[@mongosaqqara]

Another great rebuild...love your content!

[@johnb8369]

I see you're a Cleetus fan too. Nice!

[@mobigsly9595]

Love your work.. I was thinking it would be pretty cool if you invited Samcrac and his stepmom for party on your pontoon boat maybe ride the refurbished jet ski.

[@benrichards9667]

Yeah get the got damn key reprogrammed, it's got to be it. Your jetski should be over 40mph easily. You weigh like what? 160? Maybe. So it's not like you have a blimp on it. Great video, keep em coming mang

[@ajvot71]

Looks great!

[@ryansriverfinds3232]

Brother that look really nice I also have a jet ski that was given to me now I have a fun project that I’m working on right now but my skills are not as refined as yours are lol so I hope that I can get it up and running

[@jfisch5030]

Yep you need the full power key. That ski should hit 54 mph easily

[@blakerh]

Great job man!

[@jasonf2024]

I really like the idea of a cooler mount on the back but I see a couple issues here. The first is that when I ride my waverunner with others I like to whip my passengers off the back or I have fallen back doing tricks as well. Meaning I see the mount more of a arm slicer or headache maker than anything else. Also it doesn't seem that versatile for anything other than a cooler like a camp chair or gas can. I would have loved to see something a bit more flat like the trunk lid racks for small cars/convertibles. Something you can just bungie cord anything to.

[@ProducerDeejaySonic]

Try a sollas impeller and program a new key

[@JeromeLouvet]

Very nice job!

[@tedscearcy]

Looks fantastic!

[@DustinDoesStuff]

Is that Lake Clinch. I just started restoring a pair of 96 Seadoo's and came across your channel. Pretty cool we live so close.

[@Wolfmots]

Get an impeller that will allow for higher speeds. They of course sell intake and exhaust kits that will give you more power, ecu upgrade/flash.

[@diegoenamorado1534]

Not sure if you done an oil change and spark plugs but definitely will help! Also i have a 2020 Gti 130 where your able to adjust your setting for speed and cruise control and bow height not sure if your has any of this options to check.

[@ededdie2853]

You can adjust the training key stuff but it is def slower if you dont

[@jean-michellanot4130]

Great video!!! Love what you are making and thumbs up for the craftsmanship 🎉 if I could drop in a suggestion, I would advice voice over what you doing rather then just music.

[@jimmyj244820]

Love your channel 🎉

[@NBMBC40]

Looks awesome

[@cap2c484]

Being a former rental, I am sure you are probably running it on the learning key. Invest in the regular key and you should be good to go 👍

[@austinhamilton2468]

Like a few other commenters said it’s likely the trading key. But something you could look into before that for free is if the rental company had it speed governed.

[@christerc3969]

Ps. Greatings from Sweden.

[@DoRC]

It looked like you put those speakers in with screws. For the future that sort of thing really needs to be done with nuts and bolts. Screws in fiberglass especially hanging something heavy like that on something that's going to be bouncing around will not last very long before they pull out of the fiberglass.

[@dbk81]

Someone in FL hook this man up with a non training key to try out!!

[@frankieweigt1369]

you live in Florida Take it to JP racing and have them look to see if it’s been turned down for rental Some places will have them tuned instead of using the key yellow key should be the factory key.

[@bourbonthebiscuit]

Awesome as usual mate keep up the great work 👍🏻

[@pnemonic1]

That impeller does look a bit rough. Consider replacing it to avoid massive cavitation. They're not cheap but well worth it.

[@dilloncole1885]

Find a local jet ski mechanic near you I work on them for a living up in Michigan and program keys all the time buy a key online have them program one without the learning feature. We only charge 75 bucks to program a key takes me less then 10 min. The learning feature will limit everything on it that could be your problem

[@Anne6621]

being a rental maybe the engine is governed , but it looks Amazing !!!

[@mikerowell19]

Great ideas man

[@lelandlove5472]

90 hp and 800+ hours your doing great at 35mph.

[@ChristopherT1]

Great job bud! You are an inspiration! Where did you get the inclination and skills to do this kind of stuff?

[@cyprianzollinger303]

Awesome video! What is the music starting at about 19 minutes?

[@dcallan812]

looking good. 2x👍

[@sandman1a99b]

Looks great!!! Where can I find those palm grips?

[@robertjordan5841]

Man, you build some cool shit!!!!!

[@Hughes.13]

I need a jet ski make over !

[@txpyroguy817]

Its probably a rental key or learning key which limits speed!

[@myz383]

The training key is absolutely why it won’t go over 35mph. Get the dealer to swap your training key to performance and it will be cheaper.

[@RCACTIONAUSTRALIA]

Impeller looked rough? Possibly causing low speed, or key could be programmed for lower speed as it was a rental

[@TheGaggenau]

The speaker will probably sound better if turn the around so that the tweeter is not coverd and faces you directly

[@r2d2326]

Im surprised nobody had mentioned this, the impeller is cooked! You put a new wear ring on a worn prop. Its caveating. Bring a friend and really put a load on the ski riding two up. Give it the beans, it should pull hard and get up on plain and feel like it had good thrust. If it feels like you’re spinning your wheels not really getting any “grip” its the impeller. Take it to a prop shop, way cheaper to have it repaired.

[@benk6898]

I had a 2021 Kawasaki STX 160X and after one summer of usage the top speed dropped from about 60 mph to low 40’s. Tried to get it looked at but it was a month out of warranty so I just sold it. Hope you can figure out why you aren’t getting the expected output because I know how frustrating it is.

[@christerc3969]

Very good job, but had been nicer if you had bought some items like black seat covers and the foam steps.

[@JetskiCoating]

you need sport key to achieve top speed 😊👍🏻

[@joshuademiami4113]

I’m pretty sure its supposed to hit around 55 to 60 mph

[@1clnsdime1]

What rpms are u getting? That key is more then likely what it is.

[@05jimgar05]

Love it
